Good work! This is a little more info on the slime issue: Even very clean hydroponic systems and grow rooms which are isolated from the outdoor environment will have some Pythium present as these fungal spores are naturally present everywhere on a world wide scale - in the water, soil...

Day 21 from seed Well reservoir #2 is a complete loss the plants are stunted, and suffering from nute lock out. So I planted them in soil, now the onyx and himalaya blue diesel and two of the bigbud plants are soil grows. I am germinating the last 4 bigbud seeds to replace the plants from...

The slime in your reservoir can pop up at any time and physan20 is the only product besides pool algaecide that will remove it completely, but the phys an 20 will not keep it away from your reservoir. You must add beneficial microbes to combat algae. If you don't, the slime will continue to...

Thats why beneficial microbes are essential, they eat organic matter, like dead roots or broken root material, before slime can form.

Right, Beneficial microbes to combat algae and helps with root development, if you add the right ingredients to your tea. Especially good to combat root rot and Bown algae, or slime.

Hydrogen peroxid will only slow it down, Physan 20 will eliminate it. Physan 20 will create a lot of foam in the reservoir, but that's a good thing. .5 ml per gallon, run anywhere from 1 to 24 hours, depending on your comfort level. Then clean out your reservoir and put 2 to 3 cups of EWC tea...

They won't reply to this thread or help at all, so.........

Day 16 and 17 Bad news, I got slimed in reservoir #2. Brown algae attacked my roots in reservoir #2, added hydrogen peroxide @ 2 ounces per gallon to the reservoir to slow it down, washed the roots with running water and anti-bacterial dish soap, then sprayed them with water and hydrogen...

Three day growth spurt All of the Bigbuds but 1 are 3 inches tall and spreading out ove the net pots, the one was stunted, but is now recovering Had some algea problems in reservoir #2 because of light leaks, got that fixed, changed out rhe reservoirs and added hydrogen peroxide and Silica...

Great, Thanks! I won't be setting this up until after Thanksgiving, cause I'm only 2 weeks into my current grow.

I'm all in! Love the light, I am sooo tired of my 600 watt hps with the yellow light and high temps. Gonna go for the infared and MHC next time around, just gotta figure out how to hook up the thermometer, but my wife is an electrical genius, we'll get it figured out. By the way, Kansas City...

Thank you!

Good link, thanks. Good information BigSteve. I've always forced flower to sex after about 4 weeks veg, up to 6 weeks, never knew that they would show sex in veg at around 6 to 8 weeks. I guess I'll veg this set for 8 weeks and flower 8 to 10, good thing I got auto-flowers in the bunch too...

Ok. Thanks Growing indoors, I've never let them get that far. 6 weeks from seed, max.

So...., about 6 oz cured? Off of 1 plant, and just 3 colas, right on!

I did a poll back in Feb. about foliar feeding, and found that opinions vary wildly on the subject. But I see that there is a large amount of research and trials on the subject, which leads me to believe that the method should be viable if done correctly.

Yeah, 10 weeks is about optimum, denser, fatter buds. 6 oz + per plant dry weight is possible with Bigbud, and depending on the breeder, a longer flower period should increase potency. Of course you don't want to flower too long but a higher percentage of amber trichs than with most strains...

I may be wrong, but usually plants don't show sex until after being put into bloom/flower mode. I've never seen a plant show sex before flower.

I think He's gonna ignore all the good advice and stick with the 1 gallon pots, his loss.

This is the first completed Bigbud grow journal with smoke report I've seen. With several strains named bigbud, what breeder did yours come from? I've heard that the different strains have different potencies, but always large yields. I've got Homegrown Fantaseed's Bigbud from Attitude...
